In the wake of the tragic events that took place in Manchester, I want to implore people not to lose steam or, more importantly, hope.

Gaza is still facing destruction, famine and genocide.

We need to continue to peacefully pressure our government to take action and sanction the Israeli government and to educate and inform people about the horrors faced by the Palestinian people day in and day out for the last two years.

People who opposed the liberation of Palestine want for this to be a turning point. For people to point the finger at a movement that wants to see the end of the suffering of millions and label it as inciting hate.

It's not.
And it's important.

Please don't put down your passion for Gaza.

Funnily enough the only children I've seen with my own eyes burned alive are Palestinian ones. I've seen the charred remains of a Palestinian child, still in her nappy, but missing her head, held by her father after she was murdered while sheltering in a safe zone that her family had evacuated to.
Shall we discuss Hind Rajab?

Just horrendous. The inhumanity.

As was the slaughter of Kfir and Ariel Bilbas. Kidnapped and then murdered by Hamas. Only 4 and 9 months old bless their souls. What kind of monsters can strangle children like that?

Sickening.

This isn't "bigotry" it's facts. No other religion hides behind " bigotry" or "Phobic" as Islam does. When was the last time you heard the phrase " hinduphobic" or "Christianphobic". The people supporting this kind of ideology are bigots and you're an anti semitic racist as Jewish people are defined by ethnicity also. Should a gay person fear being imprisoned or hanged, should women always obey their husbands as 33% of muslim Brits think?

I agree with this.

However, you can state your facts without dragging another religion into this (which you have seemed intent on doing from the start of this thread)

People who hate Jews = terrible, awfully sad but the fault of other Jews really, dreadful to see but only themselves to blame

People who “hate” Muslims = dreadful bigots

Have I got that right @Icreatedausernameyippee?

Or alternately, if it’s the fault of Israel that people hate Jews, which Muslim Government should take the blame if people hate Muslims?

Edited

Yes, Islam is the only religion where any criticism = bigotry. It's so defensive of any criticism unlike any other religion but as the Batley grammar school teacher found out who criticised " the prophet" and received death threats, the authorities are literally terrified so we hear silly terms like " Islamophobia" and bigot". You can't be phobic of a religion that has had over 80% of global terrorist deaths affiliated to it in the last 25 years. I'm terrified of Islam and rightly so - most people on here wouldn't last 5 minutes in a true muslim country. Shove your "islamophobia" where the sun doesn't shine - no religion gets protected status

Well, it seems that’s now over to Hamas to decide, the balls in their court seemingly.

DrPrunesqualer · 04/10/2025 01:13

We must not allow the genocide deniers and those who do not want freedom for Palestinians to stop our right to freedom of speech and our democratic right to protest for them

Entirely ironic to say Islam is the only religion where criticism= bigotry when people are being called anti-Semitic for saying Israel shouldn't kill thousands of people.

Trump has told Israel to stop bombing Gaza

He hasn’t or rather didn’t as of the last news article so
now our voice is more important than ever !!

Given the killer at the synagogue was called "JIHAD" and he was an Islamist, should we just pretend he was out on a random walk as an atheist?

I can never stomach staying on any of these anti semitic threads filled with hatred and the hope for Jewish people to be slaughtered out of existence for very long.

But it is so important that we all speak up in solidarity with our Jewish friends and neighbours, all Jewish citizens in the UK who are the most law abiding, reasonable community imaginable.

No Israeli soldier wants you dead, no Israeli soldier will come near you unless you start a war with Israel first, no Jewish person is going to attack you or join in barely controlled rioting to demand support for those who want to wipe out an entire population.

As was recently said someone who goes by the handle Joosy Jew:

British Jews don’t strap bombs to ourselves and blow up kids at concerts.
British Jews don’t drive cars into civilians or police before getting out to stab them.
British Jews don’t blow ourselves up on the London Underground.
British Jews don’t detonate ourselves on Central London buses.
British Jews don’t strap knives to our wrists and rampage through London’s markets massacring revellers.
British Jews don’t hack British soldiers head’s off on our streets.
British Jews don’t drive Jeeps loaded with propane canisters into Glasgow Airport.
British Jews don’t stab people at Victoria station while shouting Jewish slogans.
British Jews don’t stab multiple people in Forbury Gardens while shouting “God is Great”
British Jews don’t stab MPs during constituency surgeries.
British Jews don’t detonate homemade bombs in taxis near Women’s Hospitals.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland stand with the Jewish community. Terrorists and their supporters do not speak for the UK.

Now that I have made that clear, I will go and look at less disturbing, hate filled anti semitic threads.

And please be well aware, I won't be responding to, or looking at, any more virulence, from any of the anti semites on this thread.

You are not in ascendance. We stand with our law abiding Jewish friends, neighbours and citizens. The UK knows what you are.

Never again.

These arse clowns pretending Israel fighting a war against terrorists who started the war during a ceasefire is a genocide are just that - pretending. They know full well that no Israeli soldier is dangerous to anybody who doesn't first rape and murder their civillians. They know full well that Israel has no choice but to continue fighting the war Hamas started, or Hamas will wipe them out.

And that's what they want.

They know full well that if Hamas - who waged a war against Israel during a cease fire - were disbanded (and as a terrorist organisation they must be) and released the hostages the war would end immediately.

They're just freaking out because Israel continues to win the war they did not start and did not want.

Everything else is just semantics.

God speed, Israel. The entire world is behind you - except for the anti semites and terrorist supporters who just won't shut up.

The people of Palestine too. Oh wait, they are trying to get rid of them all. Glad the UK has formally recognized Palestine ❤️ support for Israel globally is at an all time low. Glad the world is waking up to the lies and gaslighting

Our idiot PM might have but the people of this country haven’t ,however you want to spin it.
The world is waking up to the political propaganda of people like yourself and it is glorious to laugh at and be seen through.

I think the attack was an act of anger. I think it was a clearly disturbed individual. I think it was harmful to a good cause.
I think the blame lies with the perpetrator.
Not with the people calling for an end to a formally recognised genocide.

I think you should receive a knighthood in misdirection and trying to ignore the ideology pushed by people like you is what causes deaths like yesterday.

Most Jews are actually not religious, even so Judaism doesn't cause the global issues Islam does in several continents never mind countries. Israel has a right to exist and zionism is not an evil thing, it means the right for jewish people to live in their home - a tiny country. If the proscribed terrorist organisation of Hamas released the hostages the war would end - the hatred towards a tiny country is disgusting

You are right. Indeed the only other religion with a word comparable to Islamophobia is Judaism with antisemitism. But I imagine you’re okay about that exception.
